I was going to wish all of my Chinese mutuals a happy 中共建党100周年 (100th anniversary of the founding of the CCP) but I cannot get myself to celebrate the Communist Party after the 2019 Hong Kong demonstrations and the lack of responsibility the CCP has taken to the world since the covid-19 pandemic started. It all looked so well in the 2010’s. China was opening up (significantly more), less censorship, less involvement with Hong Kong and Taiwan. But now… after State Secretary Xi Jinping came into power, it’s just gone worse and worse, and I cannot stand seeing my Chinese friends who are younger than me (freshly graduated high school) eat up everything the government serves them. I cannot stand that everyone, Chinese and non-Chinese alike licks CCP’s ass, in fear of going against them, scared of whatever consequences might come. So I will not give the Communist Party of China my well wishes. Instead, my well wishes goes out to the people of Hong Kong, the uighurs oppressed in Xinjiang, the more than one billion oppressed Chinese living under the dictatorship that is China, forced to live under censorship and other ridiculous rules made by the power-horny members of the CCP. Keep fighting for a better life. 中国加油
Schools in China’s Xinjiang to discourage religion at home
Schools in China’s mainly Muslim Xinjiang region, where a series of attacks has left hundreds dead in recent months, said they would actively discourage religious practice at home, state-run media reported Wednesday.
Principals at more than 2,000 kindergartens, primary schools and secondary schools in Kashgar, near China’s border with Pakistan, signed a pledge to “defend schools against the infiltration of religion”, according to a report by the Global Times, which is close to the Communist Party.

Mayor in China’s Xinjiang probed for graft
The Uighur mayor of a violence-racked city in China’s far-western Xinjiang region is being investigated for corruption, a government notice said, as central authorities broaden their highly publicised anti-graft probe.
Adil Nurmemet, the mayor of Hotan, is being probed for suspected “serious disciplinary violations”, according to a notice posted Thursday on the website of the regional discipline inspection commission, the Communist Party’s internal watchdog.

Uighurs Photo Feature: Life as a Chinese Muslim
Uighurs, from the far western region of Xinjiang, mostly follow Sunni Islam and their central Asian physical appearance clearly distinguishes them from China’s ethnic Han majority.
Beijing says it ensures religious freedom for all of its citizens and has preferential policies towards ethnic minorities. Rights groups and analysts accuse China’s government of cultural and religious repression against Uighurs — such as cracking down on hijabs for women and beards for men, as well as limits on fasting during Ramadan — fuelling the unrest.
This is their life.
